Warfield is still the best berry for canning and shipping. 
Splendid is a very strong grower and very pi’oductive with 
shapely berries of large size if plants are not allowed to 
make a bi’oad matted row. Brunette holds its place as the 
most delicious variety now cultivated. Clyde continues to 
grow in popularity every where and will be more largely 
planted this season than any other variety. 
.1. H. Hale says that for an all purpose berry I know 
OP NONE TO EQUAL IT. He also says; 
“ I don’t think much of “the other fellow,’’ who i.s always saying, “I told 
}'ou so," hut somehow I did have the “I told you so” feeling when Clyde 
began to ripen and were out-doing in yield, size, form and quality anything 
that laid ever been cUiirned for them. It heaped its huge berries one upon the 
other in greatest profusion erery where — great big, rollicking fellows , as perfect 
in form as the small end of a hen’s egg — the most uniformly symmetrical lot of 
berries I hare erer seen, with not one single or imperfect berry from beginning 
to end of season Clear, light .scarlet color; beauties in every waj'. Moder- 
ately firm and of fine quality. 
“ That was just it. Various single plants had all the way from 18 to 25 
heavily loaded fruit .stalks; no very small berries, many ver}’ large ones, 
every one a perfect .specimen in form; not a .single misshapen berry in the 
whole crop. It is a perfect bloomer, has light green foliage, and in plant 
growth is about midway between such rampant tj’pes as Haverland and 
Tenne.ssee, and the more leisurely Belt and Maximus, that make fewer, but 
stronger plants. No rust or blight has yet been seen on Clyde, and Us deep- 
rooting habit tits it to stand drouth.”
